5.0 out of 5 stars Fair price for very good colouring pencils
They are wonderful colouring pencils . They are made in China like most of colouring pencils our days. What is not a bad thing to hold the price reasonable. This set has not the chemical stench like my first castle art supplies 120 set purchased nov.2018 which needed a week airing ! This new set scent is wood ! The soft case is very well made , not one split pencil and no breakage !!!! Of course you have to invest in a decent sharpener. Mine is a Helix desktop crank handle , a really useful buy . The colours are bright and beautiful. The palette is all’s and more what you ever need on variety. They are highly pigmented and not to soft or to hard . They can hold a fine point for detailed work . I owe also the full set of goldfaber(48) of faber-castell and some polychromos . I don’t understand the hype around them. They are just not for me , the polys I mean . Castle art are in my opinion much like goldfaber . But with a much larger colour range . Like with most colouring pencils the very light colours need a bit more work than the rest . I use them for Adult colouring books and they are just perfect. I was lucky, I got the 120 set middle of March As a special offer for £29.99. But I would pay the regular price for them . They blend and layer beautifully. There is nothing not likeable in this set , for less than £0.38 per pencil including a superb case with place for a few accessories like rubber and sharpener I can only advise to buy it before it is again sold out ! Like so many times the past months .
5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my days
If Castle Arts had 100 fans, I’m one of them, if they had 10 fans, I’m one of them, if they had one fan, it’s me, if they had 0, please kindly attend my funeral.I am in love, I was so close to purchasing a large set of prismacolour pencils until I came across this for almost half the price including a carry case. I’m in love with how smooth they are, the pigment and how the quality hasn’t been compromised despite a cheaper price point. It’s extremely easy to carry around if you like to doodle on the go.Some may say there are a few similar colours, and to that I say, you must have never been a woman in any of your lives. It’s like having a number of brown lip liners. They’re all brown, but some are warmer, cooler, more deep, more light etc . They all have their own function and use. I am entirely obsessed with these pencils.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely set of coloured pencils - very good value for money
This set is excellent value for money - so much so it would make a lovely gift for an artistic older child as well as being suitable for adult use. I had been using a set of Karismacolor pencils, which are nearly all used up, and sadly are not longer made - this set seems like a decent replacement. They come in a useful zipped wallet, and each pencil is clearly numbered and named. I particularly liked the included colour testing sheet (a sheet of little numbered and named boxes for you to colour in with the actual pencils), which saved me from making my own. The pencils are nice to use, colour evenly, and the colour selection included is very good. Okay - they are probably not quite up to the quality of the best in the market, and I've no idea of how light-fast the pigments are, but they are nothing like the price of top quality pencils either! The only downside I can see is that the coloured pencils are not available to buy individually - so when a colour runs out that's it - you'd need to buy a whole new set - or replace the used-up pencil with a similar one of another brand.

Good quality and comfort
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pencils ... but the case does smell ...
I do adult colouring in, I don't do all that shading and blending, simply because I am not artistic, creative, but not good at drawing ... I just find colouring in relaxing. I wanted a larger set of pencils and I also wanted softer cored pencils as I have carpal tunnel in my right hand. I have created a colour swatch of all 120 pencils, I found them to be lovely and soft. The colours are superb, I will be using them in Johanna Basford and Millie Marotta colouring books. I am hoping they sharpen well, but have already bought a faber castell trio sharpener and have been advised to buy a Jakar crank handle sharpener as these are both ideal for coloured pencils. Will report back if they do sharpen well.So I love the pencils, the only but, is that I do and don't like the case. I love the fact that it is so small for the number of pencils, I liked the way the pencils were laid out in number order, I love the way they have the colour printed on them. I just hate it when companies only print the number on their products. I liked the fact the company included a colour swatch for you. I also liked the one pencil per loop and the way the sleeves in the case allow you to turn to different colours.I didn't and don't like the smell of the case. I have asthma and I found that the smell made me cough. I am going to try hanging it out on the line to see if the smell diminishes. If it doesn't sadly it will have to go in the bin or I will resell the case on ebay with other pens in it. Have had a pen and pencil audit during lockdown. I do have another case, but the loops on it hold more than one pencil at a time, which does make it harder to get the pencils out, does seem a pity to have bought the case version and not be able to use it. So all in all a good experience, if you could just solve the smell of the case and maybe add a handle to the top of the case, so you can carry it easier, it would be five out of five.I compared these pencils to a well known high street stationers set I have that cost me £10.99 for 48 and they are so hard to get the pigment out of. I also have an anniversary set of metallic pencils which were more expensive per pencil and these are definitely as good as those. I will report back on whether a week of hanging on the washing line on sunny, breezy days reduces the smell. So great pencils, great case, it just pongs, if smells don't bother you, then buy with the case, because it is a very good case, otherwise, buy the same pencils, but in the tin. Personally, I usually decant whatever set I have bought into other storage solutions. Homebase do fantastic white and black cylinder flower pots which I use for pens because they have the colour on the top, for pencils I do prefer cases with loops these days because if you drop the case for any reason the pencils are protected against breakages.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good value
Good value for money, good quality considering the cost and a good selection of colours. Also some useful information provided with the pencils and good additions available to add to the coloured pencils. Quite soft to use.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really good blending pencils
Really good quality pencils for blending.
Very good quality
I've included as many photos as possible because I am so impressed by this brand.I am not an artist but I enjoy coloring.This set is so well packaged for shipment, it was in three boxes.First, I purchased the 120 color pencil set, the case itself is really sturdy, I won't need anything more durable however, I do wish there was a carrying handle on the side of the case.When you open the case, you'll find a tutorial booklet, a color and product guide, a tester sheet, a help card, a booklet on care, color theory and techniques - this is wonderful for the beginner (like myself).Some reviews mentioned cracked or broken tips, I only had one that was cracked in half, once I removed the broken piece, I was able to use that half without it breaking further.If you're going to use the tester sheet, check each pencil to ensure it matches the number on the sheet, once I made it through the yellows and pinks, I assumed they were all in order, but some of my blues were not and I ended up coloring the wrong blocks on the sheet before I caught the mistake.When applying the pencils to paper, the color goes down like butter, it is so smooth and so beautiful to use, I never thought about colored pencils in that way before but these are top quality, just absolutely wow!Not one of them broke/splintered during coloring and I did use more pressure but the tips remained intact.The blending is just superb and the pigmentation is stunning.I haven't had to sharpen any pencils yet, so I can't write on this area to know how the tips will hold up, but Castle has provided sharpening techniques in their booklet (wish a sharpener was included).I love these pencils and the quality Castle Arts has put into these products.💯 recommend.
Maybe my favorite set of colored pencils
I have quite a few large sets of various brands of colored pencils. I think that overall, this is actually my favorite set! Yes, there are obviously better brands, and these pencils are not in their league, neither for performance nor price!! All things considered, especially the price, that's what makes these my favorite standard colored pencil!! No, these aren't a budget set, and you might even find some pencils that perform more to your liking at a much lower price, it's all just a personal preference, after all.This was the first set of Castle Arts pencils that I bought, over a year ago, and have since purchased the Gold set, the metallic, the pastel "macaron" and the water color sets, always the largest quantity available in the zipper pouches. I try not to spend too much on art supplies, but all those other purchases were me chasing the quality of this set. This particular set is hands down superior to any of the others offered by this brand, but that's just my opinion. I would definitely purchase this again, not totally certain if I would invest again in any of their other sets, but possibly would if I use them all up.These pencils perform comparably to the Crayola brand of colored pencils, except these are a little bit smoother and brighter. This set would be a logical next step-up from Crayolas if you've started there, like their performance, but are looking for something a little bit fancier. To be fair, a lot of people want to complain about Crayola, which I think is just based on their availability at every discount and mass retailer. I actually use them at times, even with owning tons of other, more desirable sets. If it's just a coloring book, why burn through professional grade pencils?? These Castle Arts are a great option for coloring books, especially if you opt for them in the zipper case. Very convenient presentation with a sheet to swatch the colors. My love for this set is honestly based a lot from their presentation and the convenience of the color guide.The pencils come with some instructional info, also. I love how well these layer and blend. Yes, there's some wax bloom, but you'll get that with any kind of pencil. To compare this set vs. their Gold set, these layer and blend way way better, but the Gold set has more vibrant colors, and sets down more color with less pressure or more color in a single pass. I would recommend these over the Gold set if you're more of a traditionalist with colored pencils and take your time building layers and ranges of tone. These are the best pencils I have found for layering short of some of the higher priced Derwents. To clarify, yes I compared these to Crayola in some aspects, but these layer better than Crayola. The Gold pencils don't let you build the range of subtle layers and effects like these pencils. The Gold pencils are "oil" pencils. All colored pencils have wax binders, but some pencils have added oils, or a somewhat different blend, all subjective, and all depending on the particular brands formulation. I have several different sets of pencils that are labeled as oil pencils, they lay down a lot more color, but they just don't layer and blend quite as well. Personally, I know of a lot of people who claim they "hate" colored pencils, that they just want to color with markers or gel pens because pencils are too soft and light colored. Of course a lot of coloring books are designed with images on both sides of thin paper, so in that case you're limited to pencils, and if you think you hate pencils, you might want to try oil pencils, like the Gold set.Bottom line, for me this set has been almost the perfect set of pencils. There's a good range and balance of colors in this set, too. They sharpen well. I've not had too many issues with poorly blended spotchy nor "scratchy" areas like you always get with cheaper pencils. I have had these for over a year, no problems. The case is durable, and also the pencils seem to be a good hardness. They hold a point well. They're a consistently good product that allows the versatility to use in coloring books, or stand alone art!
Super gute Buntstifte
Die Buntstifte sind wirklich super. Die Abstufung der Farben ist m. E. sehr gut gelungen. Mit den Stiften lässt sich 1A malen, colorieren...Das sie einen weichen Kern auf Wachsbasis haben merkt man sofort und ich empfinde das Gefühl beim Malen als sehr angenehm und positiv.Ich kann die Stifte uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würde sie auch wieder kaufen. Von mir gibt es 5 Sterne und eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
